About our regrouting in Herongate
Across Herongate, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you have a grout colour that no longer suits the room and splashback grout that has darkened, we can put it right, on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls alike.
Being in a small place like Herongate makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Do you need regrouting in Herongate?
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Shower grout that has worn away
In the older streets around St Andrew's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What affects the cost of regrouting
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Older cottages and farmhouses around Herongate can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We’re fully insured
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
